What are we up to now?

Math: We are rocking and rolling through out addition and subtraction unit! Students have dusted off and reviewed their estimation skills, as well as solving and writing word problems. Please be aware that the test date originally sent home was a typo, and their test will be THIS Thursday. We continue to review and prepare in class!

Social Studies: Our class has had a lot of fun using our Atlas's to learn more about geography and all that it entails. We have also practiced identifying and labeling the continents and oceans on a map, which they will be quizzed on this Friday. We will then begin to move into more map and globe skills, such as latitude and longitude!

Science: Students have already conducted their first experiment to practice implementing the steps of the scientific method. Ask your child about our Ramp experiment! On Wednesday, we will take a short quiz on the vocabulary related to an experiment which include: independent variable, dependent variable, constant, and hypothesis. Please be sure your child is studying these at home!

LA: Students are working hard to finish up their letters to me, in which they give details about themselves, their summer, their time in 4th grade, and their goals for 5th grade. In reading, we have begun our conversation about the Elements of a Fiction Story. We are focusing on characterizing the main characters of a story by using their actions, thoughts, dialogue, and feelings. On Wednesday, students will take their 5th grade reading PRE-test. This is NOT graded, but is just a chance for me, as their teacher, to see what they can do! =)
